Hi,

I’m new here.

I’m having my surgery at the beginning of may in Montreal.

Anyone else on the same time frame?

We're close! Did you get insurance approval letter or did you pick a date then submit to insurance?

I'm looking at the last week of May, though I may have to push it back a week or two. My wife is having a knee replacement done on May 4th, so I'd like to wait until she's at least semi-mobile and no longer in constant agony. Fortunately both our kids are college age and will be able to take care of us. Neither kid drives though so my daughter will take me to and from the surgery in an Uber, and if we need groceries and such while I'm recovering, we'll have them delivered.

I picked May 30th than they sent insurance in than I got approved and went back to drs to get it changed sooner all they had was may14 so chose that instead of 30th. My drs suck and the lady was like they not going to approve it bc my 6 month weigh in was at primary drs but they approved it

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
